Flight operations at Delhi airport were severely affected on Wednesday as dense fog and poor visibility led to the cancellation of at least 148 flights and delays to more than 150 others.
According to airport officials, 78 arriving flights and 70 departures were cancelled in the morning. In addition, two flights were diverted to other airports due to the adverse weather conditions.
IGIA is operated by the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL). In a morning update posted on X, DIAL said that visibility conditions at the airport were gradually improving, though some flight disruptions were expected to continue.
The airport authority added that on-ground teams were working closely with airlines and other stakeholders to assist passengers and ensure support services across all terminals.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation also issued an advisory, noting that prevailing fog conditions across parts of northern India could impact flight operations at select airports.
The ministry said airlines have been directed to strictly follow passenger service norms, including providing timely updates, assistance during delays, options for rebooking or refunds where applicable, and support with baggage handling.
